Well, I never used the word "simple", mostly intentionally. Except to describe next's backend API stuff, which is pretty simple (just a node server at the end of the day). Is react/next complex? Sure. Everything is far m

May be unpopular, but: nextjs + react (+ bringing in typescript later if it starts feeling like types would be valuable). 1) React/jsx is legitimately nice for templating. Lets say I have a list of ten things I need to display; I know

You're aware that Wunderlist was purchased and shut down by Microsoft, correct?

To be honest; I think something the creator (?) commented elsewhere here is really apt: no one is born knowing how to use Github. We get used to what we're used to. I'm not asserting that as an argument for email, or PRs, but rath

I would argue, that depends on the user.

Tell that to the people who relied on Google Wave and Wunderlist. Or to the people who said "Linux will go the way of every other hobbyist OS" in 1994. I knew several orgs who were devastated when Atlassian shut down Hipchat. If y

I understand that the list presented there is more-so early stage proposals; its not like they've been registered to manage that DID method. That being said; it speaks some amount to the professionalism of the authors and supporters of

Fair; I just scanned the list and saw it was associated with a company named Evan GmbH; I didn't, and still don't, feel it was worthwhile to investigate further; but fine, they're a no-name crypto org with a template website

Ok; that's my mistake on the Evan one. But here's my counter: when it comes to web standards like this, I am fully prepared and willing to delegate my opinion to Mozilla (and a lesser but still positive degree, Google). The W3 (ok

I think it speaks extreme volumes that the "methods" of "did" and "com" were both proposed by no-name crypto organizations; "cosmos" seems to be proposed by one guy with a template website maybe unr

Linear & Shortcut are both significantly better. Linear isn't even in the same realm as Jira in quality and productivity; its like comparing Excel to Jira, yeah you can make Excel work but you'd be out of your mind to use it f

The US, and similarly many other western countries, hasn't been at the replacement fertility rate since ~1970 [1]. Relative to the years previous, its been pretty stable, but still not at the replacement rate: around 1.8, versus 2.1-2.

I think its interesting, and maybe valuable, to see that actual number. From another front page post today: its roughly the same amount of debt Voyager issued to Three Arrow Capital, who just defaulted. That's kind of the scale we&#x27

I'm not sorry for taking the opposite opinion, and its strictly for the reason that: these megacorps will, at the drop of a hat, spend millions in donations and lobbying for whatever causes their executives believe furthers the goals o

Apple attests that some iOS device is being operated by a real human. They accomplish this attestation through device heuristics; I believe the plan is, to run these heuristics on-device, then communicate them to Apple for signing/vali

I really disagree, and you don't have to look further than the video game community to see where this is headed. Most triple-A video games explicitly ban Linux devices from accessing their services, under the excuse of anti-cheat. They

Yeah, and also; Amazon knew (or, at least, Bezos says he knew) from Day 1 that books were only the beginning. They started with books because they're an extremely broad category (hard to stock one Barns & Noble full of every book),

My response to the "compute is cheap" argument is always: Discord powers millions of concurrent live-chat and real-time-voice users from literally single (huge) VMs, using Elixir and Rust. Their revenue (relatively) sucks; its a p

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this entire conversation is... dumb. The concept of "sentience" is so poorly defined, with barely even a consistent definition let alone a rigorous test, that for some reasonable def

Yup. You can get pretty dang far with just "the task definition is in cloudformation, so update the image in cloudformation and submit the template". For a bit more complexity, add ALB routing weights in, and the case for CodeDepl

The complexity difference between bog-standard ECS+Fargate and EKS+Fargate deployments rounds down pretty small. Biggest I've seen: ALB integration, IAM integration, and maybe certificate management. Most of that stuff is out-of-box

Right; and I don't feel that's a knock against K8s; its just the trade-offs it decided to make. A true Google-scale solution would be far worse to use, you can be sure of that. K8s is a "middle 80%" scale solution. Its n

This is probably unpopular, and certainly a personal opinion; but the more time I've put into remote gigs (in-person gig going remote during COVID, then switching to a full-remote company) the more I agree. Everyone has different life

Businesses in the past generally did not have hundreds of millions of people actively using their services 24 hours a day. This was rare even a decade ago.

You're welcome to design systems however you want. But this is, put simply, bad advice; and when sharing advice like this to people who may be learning these things for the first time it's critical to communicate not just what the
